Edison Denied Substation Permit

February 22, 1992

LOMBARD — Commonwealth Edison Co. has been denied a permit to build an electrical substation along 22nd Street in Lombard.

The utility assured village officials Thursday that the substation would pose no health hazards but conceded that a nearby electronics testing firm would be affected by the electromagnetic field created by its equipment.

Richard Arnold, village president, said the village could not allow an existing business to be hurt by Edison`s plan and that there are alternate sites for a substation that would pose less of a threat.
